Directions:Cake: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix ingredients together. Line a 10" x 15 cookie sheet with waxed paper. Pour mixture onto cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle powdered sugar on a clean/new dishtowel. Turn cake out of cookie sheet onto the dishtowel. Remove the waxed paper and roll cake in towel while cake is still hot. (Roll it lengthwise, from one 15" side to the other 15" side.) Cool completely, then refrigerate overnight (but no more than one day). Unroll carefully (it will still retain its basic curled shape), removing towel, and spread filling inside. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top of filling, if desired, and re-roll. Filling recipe is below. The log can be frozen if wrapped tightly in aluminum foil Filling: Blend the ingredients together with a mixer until smooth.

If you want to quadruple this recipe, which I highly recommend to save yourself some time, just multiply all the quantities times four. Today, I multiplied everything by 5, and ended up with six shells. (Might have had something to do with all the distractions I had today with the Legos?)

1. Grind the oats or nuts in a food processor for about 30 seconds until they form a fine coarse grain, 30-45 seconds. 2. You can continue to use the food processor here, and add the flour, baking powder and salt. Or mix these ingredients into a bowl. 3. Add the butter slices. If you’re using the food processor, add the butter slices all at once. If you’re doing this by hand, add the butter into the dry ingredients a bit at a time, and work the mixture with your fingers until it is a coarse meal. 4. Sprinkle in the vinegar, then add the sour cream all at once into the food processor. If you’re working by hand, only add a tablespoon of the sour cream at a time. 5. Knead the dough on a floured surface, preferably on waxed paper a couple of times. 6. Set the ball in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes

# If you have doubled or tripled the dough, divide the dough into the appropriate quantities and pull out enough for one pie shell.# I used two sheets of waxed paper to make the dough wide enough to fit into my 9″ pie shell. I smeared a bit of olive oil on the sheets and my rolling pin to keep the dough from sticking.# Once I had the disc in the right shape, I laid a fresh waxed paper sheet into the pie pan, smeared on a little olive oil and carefully laid this disc on the waxed paper, letting the dough take on the shape of the pie shell.# I continued the steps, pulling a new ball of dough out until I had the six, with waxed paper layered between each shell. The whole time I was thinking about how to make sure I had enough left-over dough to make pinwheels. Whenever my Mom baked a pie, she would cut off the leftover dough around the edges, and make pinwheels. She’d slather the dough with butter, cover in cinnamon and sugar and roll the whole pastry piece up into a roll, about 1 inch around. Then she’d slice them and bake them in a pie shell.# Once I had rolled out each disc, and layered them in the pie shell, they are ready for the freezer. Tonight, once they are firmly frozen, I will CAREFULLY, as they are fragile, remove the pie shell from underneath, and place the entire stack into a large freezer bag. They will keep for three months

HOW-TO: Make this reicpe in a 13×9-inch pan by increasing Oreo Baking Crumbs to 1 1/2 cups and butter to 1/3 cup. Prepare crust as directed in 13×9-inch pan. Double all remaining ingredients and prepare cheesecake filling as directed.
